In Poland, the head of the ruling Law and Justice party, Jarosław Kaczynski, has stepped down as deputy prime minister and head of the national security and defense committee. His resignation has already been accepted by Prime Minister Mateusz Marowiecki and President Andrzej Duda, writes Wprost with a link to the policy.
His successor in these two positions will be Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak. “This is a completely natural decision. We have a war, and he is the Minister of Defense, so in this particular situation in which we are, this combination has very great advantages,” he explained.
